Has anybody ever heard about a breed called “jin hitzu” or maybe “chin hitsu” or any combination thereof? Thanks a lot, Xpet.
Jin = gold(en), shizi 獅子 = shitzu = lion (Tibetan lion dog) - also called xishi 西施 or xishiquan 西施犬. Sounds like we could be talking about a “golden shitzu”.
(Golden retriever = huangjin liequan)

Ah, these little poochies. I was thinking it’s a japanese name, Hitsu for shi zi makes sense, of course! Thanks a lot, Xpet.
I’m sorry, but those aren’t dogs.
